A world-first in any commercial vehicle, and available as standard, is Crosswind Assist which automatically kicks in to help keep the van on course in strong gusting winds. Other standard features include a number of cabin enhancements and a new radio system with electronic entertainment features and Bluetooth.
Other 'World First' optional extras and available as extras are Collision Prevention Assist which has an audio alert if the van comes too close to moving traffic ahead, and Blind Spot Assist which alerts you to the presence of other vehicles when changing lane. Lane Keeping Assist warns the driver if the van drifts off course, and High Beam Assist provides optimal illumination of the road ahead.
Externally, the Sprinter has been given a new, more powerful front end look set off by a new and more prominent radiator grille and angular headlights.
New Sprinter is billed as the first van to meet future Euro VI emission standards. The performance of its diesel engines remains unchanged with four and six-cylinder units delivering outputs from 95 - 190bhp. Transmission is delivered by an ECO-gear 6-speed manual or G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission with lock-up clutch - another world first for vans. Consumption figures of 6.3 L/100km and an extended maintenance interval of up to 60,000km complete the picture.
